    Baseball game cancelled due to fine dust

    A Korea Baseball Organization (KBO) League game has been canceled due to heavy fine dust, Friday, for the first time in Korean baseball history.


    The KBO said it decided to cancel the game between the Doosan Bears and the NC Dinos at Seoul's Jamsil Baseball Stadium on Friday afternoon at 5:35 p.m. This is the first time the KBO has canceled a regular season game due to fine dust since its establishment in 1982.

    Following the cancellation of the game in Seoul, the KBO also announced its decision to cancel games in other regions. It canceled games between the KT Wiz and the Hanwha Eagles at Suwon KT Wiz Park and between the SK Wyverns and the Samsung Lions at Incheon SK Happy Dream Park.

    As of 5:30 p.m. in Jamsil, southeastern Seoul, atmospheric concentration levels of particulate matter (PM) 10 pollutants reached 377 micrograms per cubic meter.

    The warning is issued when an hourly average dust concentration of more than 300 micrograms per cubic meter (㎍/㎥) is expected to last for more than two hours. A concentration of more than 150 ㎍/㎥ lasting longer than two hours leads to an advisory.
